Standing stone with cup markings, 50m south of Standing Stone Farm is a Bronze Age monolith located in Northumberland, England. The stone is distinguished by cup markings, a form of prehistoric rock art typical of the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Britain, which were created by pecking or grinding shallow circular depressions into the stone surface. Such marked stones often functioned as territorial markers, ritual focal points, or way-stones within the prehistoric landscape. The monument represents an important example of cup-marked stone in the North East of England, preserving evidence of artistic practice and land use during the Bronze Age.
